Brian was laid to rest at a private funeral attended by family and close friends on Wednesday 17th February.

Andrew Varley is now the proud owner of the Yamaha D Deck believed to be only one of two to be used on the concert circuit.

The D Deck is largely a portable Stagea and quite an uncommon sight in the UK. The instrument is very compact and weighs only 2kg more than the 76 note Tyros 5. It has a 49 note upper keyboard, a 61 note lower keyboard and a 20 note pedalboard. Andrew intends to start using the instrument later in the year for Concerts and for all his Ballroom & Sequence Dances.
